Severe thunderstorms pound-

ter the most violent weather of
the year struck the central part
of the state.
Two persons were seriously
injured and homes in several
towns were damaged Sunday in
tornadoes which struck Okla-

year. The twisters caused heav-
iest damage in Bowlegs, a town
of about 200 some 40 miles
southeast of Oklahoma City, and
along a seven-mile strip on the
eastern edge of Oklahoma City.
Officials said 8 or 9 of the
70 homes in Bowlegs were de-
stroyed and most other homes
suffered some damage. Power

rupted. The storm swept into
several nearby pwns, causing

Supreme Court on May 14.
A brief submitted to the high
court by the governor said the
President’s troop order was "an
exercise of personal power", and
asserted Mr. Kennedy’s action
"if tolerated by this court would
in effect create a military dicta-
torship."
A reply brief by the Justice
Department asked the court- to
reject Wallace’s suit as being
without legal foundation.
The President has statutory
and constitutional authority to
send troops into action as he
sees fit and without waiting for
a request from a state, the de-
partment brief said.

Thomas J. Dodd, D-Conn., and
Hubert H. Humphrey, D-Minn.,
teamed up in a surprise move
today in suggesting the United
States offer the Soviet Union an
agreement to ban atmospheric
and underwater nuclear tests.
The two Democrats, who dif-
fer sharply over the adequacy
of Kennedy administration pro-
posals for a comprehensive trea-
ty banning all nuclear weapons
testing, found common ground
on a first-step proposal.
They proposed a resolution
asking'Washington to offer Mos-
cow an agreement to halt tests
that 6 contaminate the atmos-
phere or the oceans." Twenty-
two other Democrats and six
Republican senators signed the
resolution with them for intro-
duction in the senate.
Humphrey did Dodd empha-
sized the resolution would im-
pose no restrictions on under-
ground testing or on testing In
outer spice which would not
contaminate the atmosphere.
Dodd, in a speech prepared
for Senate delivery, paid high
tribute ot Humphrey, assistant
Senate Democratic leader, as
" a champion of peace and dis-
armament.” He called the Min-

preme Court called today for
desegregation of parks, play-
grounds and other city recrea-
tional facilities in Memphia,
Tenn.
WASHINGTON w 4 The Su-
preme rejected today a suit by
Gov. George C. Wallace of Ala-
bama to bar use of federal
troops in Birmingham.
The governor asked the high
tribunal to declare President
Kennedy violated the Constitu-
tion by sending troops into the
state for possible riot duty in
Birmingham racial troubles.
Wallace said neither he nor
the Alabama Legislature had
asked for federal troops and
contended such a. first step was
necessary under the Constitu-
tion. The governor asked the
court also to declare unconsti-
tutional a post-civil war statute
under which the President act-
ed, and the Constitution's 14th
amendment.
"In essence,” the high court’s
order said, "the papers show
no more than that the President
has made ready to exercise the
authority conferred upon him by
10 U.S.C. Section 333 by alter-
ing and stationing military per-
sonnel in the Birmingham area.
Such purely preparatory meas-
ures and their alleged adverse
general effect* upon the plain-
tiffs Alabama and Wallace; af-
ford no basis for the granting
of any relief.”
The section referred to in the
prder is a post-Civil War law
giving the President authority to
order out troops to suppress dis-
orders in states.
Justice White took no part in
today's action. This made the
court's vote 8-0.
In dismissing the governor’s
complaint, the court made no
reference to a request by Wal
lace that it declare the Consti-
tution’s 14th amendment invalid.
Wallace filed his suit in the
